What is Ender IO?

2 parts

The project page describes Ender IO as a full-featured tech mod, with armor, tools, weapons, machines, conduits, inventory management and mobs. Keep in mind that the mod is being rewritten, so some features may not yet be ported.[1]

This pack ships Ender IO 9.0.6-alpha. That version number matters: the mod is being rewritten from the ground up for the latest version of Minecraft, and the project page warns that some features have not been ported yet. If you remember something from older Ender IO versions and can't find it, that may be why.[1][2]

What it covers

The project page lists machines, conduits, armor, weapons, tools, enchantments and decorative blocks as the main features, though it also says some features have not yet been ported.[1]

Conduit types

The project page lists these conduit types: item, fluid, energy, redstone, Applied Energistics 2 ME, Refined Storage and Mekanism Chemicals. As with the rest of the mod, it says some features have not yet been ported, so not everything listed there is guaranteed to be available.[1]

How do you get started with Ender IO?

5 parts

Ender IO is a full-featured tech mod with machines, conduits, armor, tools and weapons. Here is the order I would tackle it in this pack, starting with the materials everything else leans on.[1]

Step 1: Conductive Alloy

Start with Conductive Alloy Ingot. This pack adds several ways to get it, so you can use whichever machine line you already have. One route to start with is casting with Hephaestus Forge: 90 of molten conductive alloy in a casting table gives one ingot. A nugget needs 10 and a block needs 810.[3]

Casting Table (hephaestus)

  • 90× Molten Conductive Alloy

Recipe id: ftb:hephaestus_materials/casting/conductive_alloy/ingot

Added by the pack.

The other pack-added routes run through alloy smelting from FTB Industrial Contraptions, the foundry from Oritech, and the alloy furnace from Energized Power, which makes 2 ingots per recipe. Redstone Alloy Ingot is also made in the Energized Power alloy furnace, and the pack changed that recipe.[3]

Step 2: Conduit Binder and conduits

Conduit Binder comes from smelting or blasting, and each recipe gives you 2.[3]

Smelting

    Recipe id: enderio:conduit_binder_from_smelting

    The blasting version also makes 2.

    The pack changed the energy conduit recipes. The crude and construction alloy versions each make 8 Conduit Bundle, and the crystalline version makes 4.[3]

    Conduit BinderConduit BinderConduit Binder

    Recipe id: enderio_evolution:conduit/crude_energy_conduit

    Changed by the pack, and it makes 8 conduits.

    Mixing tiers on the same line is allowed for energy, fluid and item conduits, so you do not have to rebuild a whole run when you upgrade. The options are conduits.canMixEnergyConduitTiers, conduits.canMixFluidConduitTiers and conduits.canMixItemConduitTiers, and each of them is set to true.[4]

    Step 3: Power

    Machines have an energy buffer and a running cost, and both are set in the config. The Alloy Smelter holds 64,000 uI and uses 20 uI/t, and the Sag Mill has the same numbers. The Soul Binder holds 128,000 uI and uses 60 uI/t.[5]

    For generation, the Stirling Generator makes 40 uI/t at base, and a basic capacitor bank stores 500,000 uI. Those values match the mod defaults. The pack did raise the photovoltaic cell rates: energetic is 5 (default 4), pulsating is 20 (default 16) and vibrant is 80 (default 64).[5]

    Step 4: Clear Glass

    Clear Glass is made with alloy smelting, so it is a handy early recipe once your power is running.[3]

      Later on

      When you are ready for mobs, the Soul Binder is crafted from a Soul Vial. In this pack, soul vials cannot change spawners, because items.soulVials.allowSpawners is false.[3][6]

      How does Ender IO work?

      11 parts

      Ender IO is a tech mod built around machines, conduits and power. Everything below comes from the pack's config files and data files, so these are the values this pack actually runs. Energy in these configs is measured in uI, and machine use is given in uI/t.[1][5]

      How machine power works

      Every machine has an energy capacity and a base usage, and both are configurable. The values listed here match the mod defaults in this pack, except the photovoltaic rates, which the pack changed and which are covered further down.[5]

      Making and storing power

      The pack raised the photovoltaic production rates. They are measured at midday without rain or thunder.[5]

      Chargers

      Range extenders add to that base range. The data map gives Pulsating Wireless Antenna a value of 16 and Vibrant Wireless Antenna a value of 32.[7]

      Grinding balls

      Each grinding ball in the Sag Mill data map has a bonus multiplier, a durability, an output multiplier and a power use multiplier. Flint is listed with 24,000 durability, a 1.2 output multiplier and 0.85 power use. The dark steel ball has 125,000 durability, a 2.0 bonus multiplier and 0.7 power use. The vibrant alloy ball has an output multiplier of 1.75, and the redstone alloy ball has a power use of 0.35.[8]

      Recipe id: enderio:powered_spawner

      The Powered Spawner uses the shaped entity storage recipe type.

      Soul vials cannot change spawners in this pack, since items.soulVials.allowSpawners is false. The chance of a spawner dropping a Broken Spawner is 1 here (blocks.brokenSpawner.dropChance).[3][6]

      Broken SpawnerMod recipe

      Soul Binding (enderio)

      Recipe id: enderio:soulbinding/broken_spawner

      The Soul Binder handles this recipe.

      Conduits and automation

      Ender IO moves things through conduits. The mod lists item, fluid, energy, redstone, Applied Energistics 2 ME, Refined Storage and Mekanism chemical conduits.[1]

      In this pack you can mix tiers on the same line for energy, fluid and item conduits (conduits.canMixEnergyConduitTiers, conduits.canMixFluidConduitTiers and conduits.canMixItemConduitTiers are all true). Chemical conduit tiers can be mixed too.[4][9]

      Normal ME conduits have no idle power cost, since ae2.normalPowerUsagePerTick is 0.[9]

      Dense ME conduits are free at idle too, since ae2.densePowerUsagePerTick is 0.[9]

      Conduit Binder is made by blasting.[3]

      Blasting

        Recipe id: enderio:conduit_binder_from_blasting

        The pack changed the construction alloy energy conduit recipe, which makes 8 conduits.[3]

          The Vat

          The Vat runs fermenting recipes. One of them makes 500 of the concentrated cloud seed fluid.[3]

          Vat Fermenting (enderio)

            Recipe id: enderio:fermenting/fluid_cloud_seed_concentrated_still

            Reagent items carry a value in a category. Blue ice is worth 81.0 of cloud cold and packed ice 9.0. Gunpowder is worth 0.25 of explosives, and glow ink sacs are worth 0.5 of natural lights.[10]

            Grains of Infinity from fire

            Grains of Infinity can drop from a fire. A fire must be at least 260 ticks old before it can spawn Infinity Powder (grainsOfInfinity.fireMinAge).[6]

            A sound plays when the grains drop, since grainsOfInfinity.makesSound is true.[6]

            Up to 500 fires are tracked per dimension (grainsOfInfinity.maxTrackedFires). Once that is exceeded, older fires are pruned first.[6]

            Fire Crafting (enderio)

              Recipe id: enderio:fire_crafting/bedrock_infinity

              The fire crafting recipe gives Grains of Infinity and a Suspicious Seed.

              Powered items

              Enchanter and Ender IO block

              How do you progress through Ender IO?

              5 parts

              Ender IO in this pack does not have a tier ladder you can read straight off a quest chapter, so this page follows the in-pack recipes instead. The big theme is alloys: the pack lets several other machines make Ender IO's alloys, so you are not forced to use one machine line.[3]

              Unverified Where Ender IO sits in the pack's quest book, and in what order its tiers are meant to be unlocked, is not shown in the sources here. Check the quest book in game for any guidance on that.

              Alloys: the backbone of every tier

              The pack adds extra ways to make Ender IO's alloy ingots. Conductive Alloy Ingot has pack-added recipes in an alloy smelter from FTB Industrial Contraptions, in an alloy furnace from Energized Power, and in a foundry from Oritech. The Energized Power version of that recipe makes 2 ingots at a time.[3]

              Pulsating Alloy Ingot gets a pack-added Oritech foundry recipe. Redstone Alloy Ingot gets one too, and its Energized Power alloy furnace recipe is marked as changed by the pack.[3]

              Dark Steel Ingot can be made in the FTB Industrial Contraptions alloy smelter (there are two pack-added recipes for it) and in the Energized Power alloy furnace.[3]

                Casting with molten metal

                The pack also adds Hephaestus Forge casting recipes for Ender IO metals. A conductive alloy ingot takes 90 units of molten conductive alloy, a nugget takes 10, and a block takes 810. Dark steel uses the same 90 and 810 amounts for its ingot and block, and End Steel Block takes 810 of molten end steel.[3]

                Energy conduits

                The pack changes the energy conduit recipes from Ender IO: Evolution. The construction alloy and crude energy conduit recipes each make 8 conduits, while the crystalline and crystalline pink slime recipes each make 4.[3]

                Soul binding and slicing

                The soul binder is where the more advanced items come from. Recipes of the soul binding type make Ender Crystal, Energetic Photovoltaic Module, Animal Token and Powered Spawner, and the Broken Spawner has a soul binding recipe too.[3]

                Slicing recipes make the Ender Resonator, the Guardian Diode and the Skeletal Contractor.[3]

                Grains of Infinity and soularium

                Grains of Infinity have many routes. Fire crafting recipes cover bedrock and deepslate, and an infinity dust block crafts down into 9 grains. Mystical Agriculture gives 8 grains per craft, and there are also Productive Bees and XyCraft Machines recipes.[3]

                Soularium Ingot comes from a Mystical Agriculture recipe that makes 4 at a time. A Productive Bees centrifuge recipe gives Soularium Nugget plus wax.[3]

                Clear Glass is made by alloy smelting, and Dark Clear Glass has three alloy smelting recipes.[3]

                How does Ender IO work with other mods?

                5 parts

                In this pack, the Ender IO links I can confirm come from recipes: casting with Hephaestus, centrifuging with Productive Bees, one fabricating recipe for the FTB Evolution 2 Companion, and a few Ender IO: Evolution recipes.[3]

                Casting Ender IO alloys with Hephaestus

                The pack adds Hephaestus Forge casting recipes that turn molten metals into Ender IO alloys. An ingot takes 90 of the molten fluid in a casting table, a nugget takes 10 in a casting table, and a block takes 810 in a casting basin.[3]

                Productive Bees

                Productive Bees has centrifuge recipes for Ender IO materials. The infinity honeycomb gives Grains of Infinity and Wax, and the soularium honeycomb gives a Soularium Nugget and Wax.[3]

                    FTB Skyline

                    The pack adds a fabricating recipe from FTB Evolution 2 Companion that makes FTB Skyline from 10,000 of Fluid Rocket Fuel Still, which is Ender IO's rocket fuel fluid.[3]

                      Hidden from recipe viewers

                      One pack change to know about: a pack script hides Block Detector from recipe viewers, so you won't find it by browsing there.[11]

                      Which Ender IO config options matter?

                      7 parts

                      Most of the Ender IO configs in this pack sit at the mod's own values. In the config files shown here, the only values marked as changed are the solar panel rates, so I'll start there and then cover the settings you're most likely to go looking for.[4][5][6][9]

                      What the pack changed

                      All three solar panel tiers are boosted in machines-common.toml. The config describes the rate as the production rate at midday without rain or thunder.[5]

                      Power storage and generation

                      These all match the mod defaults.[5]

                      Conduits

                      You can mix conduit tiers in the same block for energy, fluid and item conduits. Chemical conduits from the Mekanism integration can be mixed too.[4][9]

                      Spawners and soul vials

                      Soul vials cannot change spawners here, because items.soulVials.allowSpawners is false.[6]

                      Obelisks

                      The Attractor Obelisk does not attract bosses in this pack, since obelisks.attractorAttractBosses is false. Base ranges are at the mod defaults:[5]

                      Enchanter costs

                      What changed in Ender IO between versions?

                      3 parts

                      FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 ships Ender IO 9.0.6-alpha. The mod has been in the pack since 1.0.2 or earlier, so this is the version you are playing with.[2]

                      The 9.0.6-alpha changelog calls itself a quick 1.21.1 parity release. Most of what it lists is carried over from 1.21.1.[12]

                      Features in 9.0.6-alpha

                      • Item, fluid and redstone filter slots now have tooltips.[12]
                      • Travel anchors render full-block icons as blocks instead of items.[12]
                      • Crowdin translation updates.[12]

                      Bug fixes in 9.0.6-alpha

                      The release fixes missing textures and models for the dark steel ladder, the end and dark steel bars, and the soul chain. The other fixes below are listed as coming from 1.21.1.[12]

                      • Coldfire no longer fails to go out or to generate grains.[12]
                      • The powered spawner no longer puts too many items in the output.[12]
                      • Crashes when checking for valid souls are avoided.[12]
                      • Conduit inventories now drop if the last conduit in a bundle is broken.[12]
                      • The farming station GUI background width is corrected.[12]
                      • Self-feeding energy conduits are prevented.[12]
                      • The farming station no longer blocks when it is out of seeds while other tasks are still waiting.[12]

                      Experiments

                      Watch out: The changelog lists a work-in-progress feature called The Ender IO as an experiment, described only as early work in progress. Experiments are locked behind feature flags and shouldn't be enabled on your primary world.[12]

                      Unverified The sources here show no pack changelog entries for Ender IO. Whether any FTB Evolution 2 release notes mention changes to this mod is not shown; check the pack's own release changelogs.
